Generally Linux supports many devices out of the box. But yes, at this moment, this bluetooth adapter has problems in the way how the firmware loads. The kernel supports it and now it can even be recognized with new kernels (starting from 3.5.0.17). But the firmware doesn't load and you can't use it.

For new kernels as a temporary workaround you can do the following.

You run VirtualBox with Windows (Windows 7 is preferred) and then you share the device
with the guest machine. Check if it works. And if it works you just shutdown the guest, quit from VirtualBox and you would be able to use BT normally in Linux.
